History of the National Conference
The Impact National Conference was previously named the Impact Leadership Conference. The Impact National Conference is now one of Canada's most prestigious conferences, and it draws a wide pool of talent from various schools and study fields. Its name was changed in order to reflect our success in attracting top delegates from all across the country.
Our conference encourages participants to take a glimpse into the entrepreneurial world by attending a variety of events including panel discussions, speaker sessions, workshops and case study competitions. Impact’s speakers consist largely of entrepreneurs and corporate executives who share their personal experiences and knowledge with Impact participants. These activities are aimed at bridging the gap between student-life and the real world. Impact exposes delegates to some of Canada’s top leaders who graciously share their experiences and explain what it takes to become successful business leaders.
